Are You a Super Woman?

To all the women out there, have you ever imagined to be called a "Super Woman" for something you have no role or power to play in or have you ever felt ridiculed for something you would never have been able to change? 
In most of the South Asian countries, a woman who gives birth to the gender male possesses the way more pride and value in comparison with the one giving birth to the other. Now, the question that a sane mind must ask is that how a woman can be declared superior for something she didn't do and, at the same time, how the other one being rewarded the lesser respect and dignity as both of them took the same suffering to bring a new living being into this world? No one will ever have the answer to this question that on what grounds this is being done but the dilemma in our patriarchal society goes on even in the 21st century. A lot has evolved with the passage of time in these countries but sparing the school of thought in a few regards. Blaming a woman for giving birth to the non-desired gender is ridiculous and an open example of high-end ignorance. 

Another fact is that women have been considered a soft target in ignorant societies from the start. The pressure on women to give birth to boys has been immense since ages. They are beaten, threaten to be overthrown, being forced to allow their men for another marriage, and also divorced in the name of giving birth to the female gender. Men who believe that women's particulars are responsible for the gender of the child are in immediate need of learning that the chromosomes of a female body have nothing to do with the gender sortition in the whole process. 

Our patricentric society needs to acknowledge and appraise the role of women in everyone's life. It is essential to appreciate the gender that has brought every living being into this world. Over the past few years, the situation for women has slightly improved in terms of their rights, appreciation, and worth but there is still a lot to be done to bring them to equal rights and acknowledgments as men.
